A woman who poisoned and killed her 11 husbands over a 22-year period is currently facing the death penalty in Iran.
Kolsum Akbari, 56, married elderly men before administering blood pressure medications, diabetes drugs, sedatives and even industrial alcohol in order to inherit their property.
Akbari's sick actions went undetected for more than two decades, due to her victims old ages and health conditions, until she confessed to the killings. She currently awaits sentencing.
The families of her victims are now asking for her execution.
Beginning in 2000 and carrying on until 2023, she killed over and over until she became careless with her final husband, 82-year-old Gholamreza Babaei.
Babei's son was suspicious of the woman after a family friend revealed his own father had previously been married to a woman called Kolsum who had tried to poison him.
Police were called, and the woman was arrested. Upon interrogation police managed to get her to confess, though she reportedly gave conflicting accounts on just how many people she killed.
She said: 'I don’t know how many I killed. Maybe it was 13 or 15 people. I don’t remember exactly.'

"In many cases, the victims would die shortly after getting married to her. Mirahmad Omrani, 69, died a month after their marriage in 2013; Esmail Bakhshi, 62, died two months after their 2016 wedding, and Ganjali Hamzei, 83, died 43 days after marrying her. "

Sounds fair to me.
Isn’t she doing the same thing the government does to dissidents?
They blurred her image, her beauty must be more than mortal man can resist.
“A woman who poisoned and killed her 11 husbands over a 22-year period is currently facing the death penalty in Iran.” Sounds like a sweet girl.
This sounds like a rush to judgement...
Can’t she be given one more chance?
A true feminist icon. You’d think they would be rallying to her.
come on now, it’s not even a baker’s dozen yet
Bwahaha! Yes. We can see the beauty oozing below the dark line. Yak.
“She said: ‘I don’t know how many I killed. Maybe it was 13 or 15 people. I don’t remember exactly.’”
In the trailer for Spinal Tap II, the band is recruiting a drummer. They assure him that they have only had 11 or 12 drummers die. They settle on 11 (naturally). This story brought this to mind.
That'll put some lead in yer pencil.
She’s hot!
Bette Davis Eyes?
Did the nth (where n>1) husband not know about the 1 through n-1 husbands?
Never ever admit to anything. Ever.
You would think, there would be suspicion after SIX dead husbands. Eleven?
Maybe women in Iran will follow her lead
Back when Homer_Simpson was running the WW-II thread on FR, there was a thread about a woman marrying multiple servicemen and being assigned beneficiary prior to their boarding ship.
Islam allows 4 wives.
